Funfetti mini pancake muffins

My kids love those little Hostess chocolate chip muffins that come 5 packs to a box for over $4.00. My son will eat 2 packs each morning for breakfast and that gets expensive. So, I only buy them when they are buy 1 get 1 free and then I buy like 8 boxes. But, when I run out, these pancake muffins are the perfect replacement. I think they taste very similar to the Hostess muffins, but better of course because they are homemade. Usually I make them with mini chocolate chips because they are Jack’s favorite. But, I thought it would be fun to change things up a bit and replace the chips with sprinkles to make Funfetti mini muffins.

I decided to surprise my daughter with breakfast for lunch with these muffins. But, of course Sammie didn’t want muffins. She wanted turkey. No bread, just turkey. Okay then. So the baby and I ate the muffins, dusted with powdered sugar and dipped in maple syrup. Alex tore them up. After Sammie finished her turkey, she decided she would try a muffin…then another and another and another. She had to make sure they were okay, quality control you know. :D I love these muffins too. They are fluffy, a bit sweet from the maple syrup and sugar, and they really taste like pancakes without all the work. And now, not only do they taste great, but they are super fun, Funfetti. Sprinkles makes everything better. Don’t you think?
